Fabiola Gianotti, who became Director-General of CERN in 2016, and Cayetano López, Director-General of CIEMAT, take part in the lecture series “LHC Run 2: Driving Technology and Tackling Open Questions” to discuss the scientific future of the Large Hadron Collider following the discovery of the Higgs boson.
After two years of maintenance and upgrades, the LHC began a second phase of operation at higher energy, opening up new possibilities for exploration. The speakers examine the questions this period raises for particle physics, from the search for phenomena beyond the Standard Model to the possible discovery of new particles. The session also explores CERN’s strategy for making full use of the accelerator’s potential and shaping the next decades of research.
The BBVA Foundation and CERN jointly organise the lecture series “LHC Run 2: Driving Technology and Tackling Open

The BBVA Foundation and CERN jointly organise the lecture series “LHC Run 2: Driving Technology and Tackling Open Questions”. The programme explores the new phase of operation of the Large Hadron Collider, its scientific goals and associated technological developments, while also examining its contribution to innovation, training and international collaboration.
